With portage (and not necessarily other package managers) it updates |
| 8 |
everything it needs to when you run any command, like an emerge -pu world. |

I'd also note that I think the default rsync install in gentoo gives you |
| 11 |
an rsyncd.conf that will share /usr/portage. If you get rid of the |
| 12 |
distfiles exclude in it that might be a really easy option for you. |
| 13 |
Just change your make.conf to point to your other internal box and do an |
| 14 |
emerge --sync. |

I think that paludis might need a few extra commands to regenerate its |
| 17 |
cache files, but I'm not 100% on how portage metadata caching works and |
| 18 |
how other PMs handle this. |

When I make chroots I usually just bind mount or copy /usr/portage as |
| 21 |
needed. Just used the rsync trick to update my EC2 ami an hour ago... |
